Amarsh Vutukuri _marsh — "Gormenghast, that is, the main massing of the original stone, taken by itself would have displayed a certain ponderous architectural quality were it possible to have ignored the circumfusion of those mean dwellings that swarmed like an epidemic around it s Outer Walls" - First line - Titus Groan It's hard to recommend Mervin Peaks Gormenghast trilogy enough. His series charts the world of Gormenghast castle and the lives of the occupants. This microcosm of ritual and order sets the scene for the inevitable anarchism by our anti-hero Steerpike. The books are rich in textural detail, and the prose are enormously satisfying. It’s quite possible to wallow in the pages of these books purely on the basis of their poetry. "His body gave the appearance of being malformed but it would be difficult to say exactly what gave it this gibbous quality. Limb by limb, it appeared that he was sound enough, but the sum of these several members accrued to an unexpectedly twisted total. His face was pale like clay and save for his eyes, mask-like. These eyes were set very close together, and were small, dark red, and of startling concentration" – of Steerpike The series is not only beautifully written, it also manages to involve the reader in a fantastic plot while exploring themes such as class system, Machiavellian politics, and the nature of ritual, which Peak does whilst never straying into religion and the inevitable consequences of directly satirising it. Go and buy a copy, or I’ll lend you one.
